My High School Friend Peng Wang
Peng Wang is one of the most important people in my life. He was my best friend in high school; we lived in the same bedroom. In my memories, he always studies all night while I slept on his right side. I was gradually used to turn on the lights to sleep. He is an exceptional person, his kindness, hard working and persistence, qualities had a strong influence on me, because these qualities followed me a long time.
His kindness was expressed by helping poor people in financial matters. We had to buy some fruit as daily food on weekends. When we would go to the bazaar, he didn’t focus on fruit whether they were fresh or not. He just looked at the sellers clothing which had patches and looked in great poverty. He would run to that seller’s stall, and usually let the seller keeps change. I had the habit of charity under the influence of Peng Wang. When I see homeless people, I always want do something for them, even if one dollar helps. My heart grown happy for a long time.
He is a hard working person, because he kept writing when he was at the school. He always spent him free time on writing. There does not have a computer for typing at that time. He just used a pen to write on paper with articulate words. There are a lot of manuscripts at our bedroom. I looked at those manuscripts, and become surprised that an emaciated boy wrote these papers. One manuscript was stacked rather high and word pround difficult for people to read since it looked so long. that reads these manuscripts could difficult for the people. He perseverance to completed it. He did not came to Beijing, but his aricle published in< Beijing Daliy News>. I knew that this is a reward for him. I tried to write something under the influence of him. Writing allowed me to realize the joy of creation. My college course is ESL. It is difficult for me. I want to relax when I see some difficult problems, but Peng’s spirit encourages me to overcome obstacles.
Persistence is a perfect word to describe Peng Wang. Writing has become a part of his life, it important was as eating, sleeping and breathing. If any of them part are missing, his life cannot continue. He had a dream of immigrating the United States, where is a free country. He was preparing as an international student, and used a pen to go plan the whole process. Over four years, he opened a door at New York University by a page of perfect eassy. This is best reward for him, yet he achieved this became of his persistance.
We are keeping in touch right now. I learned about he how to become a great man. If say, everybody’s life was like a book, I would like to write an extraordinary story the same as Peng Wang on my page.
